The study was carried out to investigate the utility of hyperspectral reflectance data for potato late blight disease detection. The hyperspectral data was collected for potato crop at different level of disease infestation using hand-held spectroradiometer over the spectral range of 325-1075 nm. The data was averaged into 10-nm wide wavebands, resulting in 75 narrowbands. The reflectance curve was partitioned into five regions, viz. 400-500 nm, 520-590 nm, 620-680 nm, 770-860 nm and 920-1050 nm. The notable differences in healthy and diseased potato plants were noticed in 770-860 nm and 920-1050 nm range. Vegetation indices, namely NDVI, SR, SAVI and red edge were calculated using reflectance values. The differences between the vegetation indices for plants at different levels of disease infestation were found highly significant. The optimal hyperspectral wavebands to discriminate the healthy plants from disease infested plants were 540, 610, 620, 700, 710, 730, 780 and 1040 nm whereas upto 25% infestation could be discriminated using reflectance at 710, 720 and 750 nm.
